  • India confirms citizen fighting with Russian army dead

    India confirms citizen fighting with Russian army dead

    India’s embassy in Moscow has confirmed the death of a citizen recruited by the Russian army, days after a relative said he had been sent to fight in Ukraine.

    Two years after Russia’s invasion began, tens of thousands of its soldiers have been killed in Ukraine and Moscow is on a global quest for more combatants. The foreign ministry in New Delhi said last month that it was working to secure discharges for around 20 Indian nationals “stuck” in the Russian army.

    The embassy did not state the circumstances behind Mohammed Asfan’s death but said it was in touch with his family and Russian authorities. “Mission will make efforts to send his mortal remains to India,” the embassy wrote on X, formerly Twitter.

    Asfan’s brother Mohammed Imran said in February that his sibling had been missing for nearly two months. Asfan had last called from the southern Russian city of Rostov-on-Don to say that he had been deployed to the frontlines, Imran had said.

    He said that another Indian soldier who managed to escape told his family that 30-year-old Asfan had been wounded by a bullet. Asfan is the first death confirmed by Indian authorities among its citizens serving with the Russian army and the second confirmed overall.

    A 23-year-old man from Gujarat state was killed in a Ukrainian airstrike while working as a “security helper”, local media reported last month, citing relatives and another Indian soldier at the frontlines.

    Several Indian recruits said last month that they were lured into joining up by promises of high salaries and a Russian passport before being shipped to the frontlines.

    The soldiers said they had been promised non-combatant roles but were trained to use Kalashnikov assault rifles and other weapons before being sent to Ukraine.

  • Hassan, Hussain Nawaz arrest warrants get suspended

    Hassan, Hussain Nawaz arrest warrants get suspended

    An accountability court has suspended the arrest warrants of Hasan Nawaz and Hussain Nawaz — sons of Pakistan Muslim League-Nawaz (PML-N) supremo Nawaz Sharif- in multiple cases, including the Al-Azizia, Flagship, and Avenfield cases.

    Judge Nasir Javed Rana of the accountability court announced the decision after reserving the verdict a day earlier.

    As per the verdict, the arrest warrants are suspended until March 14.

    The arrest warrants against the brothers were issued seven years ago when the court declared them absconders.

    In today’s hearing, both brothers were represented by their lawyer, Qazi Misbah, while National Accountability Bureau (NAB) prosecutors Sardar Muzaffar, Usman Masood, and Sohail Arif also appeared in court.

    The petition for suspension of arrest warrants was filed as Nawaz Sharif’s sons are planning to return to Pakistan on March 12.

  • 7th consecutive rise: Gold price surges by over Rs2,700 per tola

    7th consecutive rise: Gold price surges by over Rs2,700 per tola

    In a remarkable seventh consecutive session, the gold market in Pakistan continued its bullish trend, witnessing a surge in the price of 24-karat gold by Rs2,750 per tola, reaching Rs228,150 on Thursday.

    Over the course of the past seven trading days, the domestic bullion market has experienced a significant uptick, with the price of gold appreciating by Rs13,350 per tola, marking a substantial 6.2 per cent increase. This surge is attributed to the notable rise in the international market.

    The Karachi Sarafa Association shared that the price of 10-gramme 24-karat gold has reached Rs195,602 per tola, indicating a substantial rise of Rs2,358.

    Additionally, the price of 10-gramme 22-karat gold has also seen an upward trend, reaching Rs179,301.

    Contrastingly, silver prices remained stable today, with 24-karat silver maintaining its position at Rs2,600 per tola and Rs2,229.08 per 10-gramme.

    On the global front, the international spot gold market continued its rapid ascent, reaching a peak of $2,161.48 per ounce.

    These gains have surprised many investors, especially considering the absence of major changes in expectations regarding the Federal Reserve’s rate-cutting decisions, as reported by Bloomberg.

    It’s worth noting that gold traditionally exhibits an inverse relationship with bond yields, further contributing to the complexity of recent market movements.
